1Welcome to ELL and thanks for your answer. I think the answer could be greatly improved by adding some explanation. The second sentence you suggested is definitely better, but why? Your first suggestion suffers in that "society" is not the subject and doesn't connect naturally with "it."– TypeIANov 3, 2020 at 19:18
